根据WordPress官方开发博客12月16日的报道，WordPress创始人Matt撰文说，WordPress 2.9 开发团队已经几乎完成 WordPress 2.9 的开发，而且Matt还兴奋的宣布，WordPress 2.9 正式版即将发布。

WordPress 2.9 Beta 1 和 WordPress 2.9 beta 2 的发布，已经说明 WordPress 2.9 的开发接近尾声。而在上周，在WordPress一个团队开发博客上，Matt说 WordPress 2.9 即将发布。

WordPress 的主要的开发者是 Ryan Boren 和 Matthew Mullenweg。Matthew Mullenweg 和 Mike Little 是这个项目的共同创始人。

虽然 WordPress 有很大一部分是由它的爱好者团体所开发和维护的，但是它的主要开发者其实大多是 Automattic 公司的雇员，WordPress 也就因此与该公司有着密切的联系。WordPress 的开发者团体中，测试者也对开发做出了一定的贡献。他们无偿地付出时间和辛劳来测试每一个版本。他们可以把发现的错误和问题提交到邮件列表，也可以提交到 WordPress 项目的Trac平台上。这个平台方便开发者们管理源代码和报告bug，从而使得众多 WordPress 爱好者们都能参与到它的开发中。

We’re at that exciting point in WordPress development where the dev team feels like version 2.9 is complete and ready for the world.

If you’ve been waiting for your moment to pitch in, it’s now. First we need tech savvy testers to upgrade their blogs and kick the tires, make sure everything is rolling like you expect it to. Here’s a list of all the fun and geeky new stuff in 2.9 to try out. Second, and more importantly, we need everyone to test out their plugin compatibility.

If you’re a user of plugins, there’s a groovy new compatibility feature on the plugin directory where you can vote on whether a plugin is compatible with a version or not and it’ll get registered in the new plugin compatibility checker. This is as a replacement to the old wiki-based lists we’d do before. To see it in action check out this Akismet plugin page, as you can see 14 people have already registered that it’s compatible with 2.9.

If you’re a plugin author, of course you should update your “Tested up to:” in the readme.txt for your plugin.

If all goes according to plan, WordPress 2.9 will be out before the end of the week. You can download the release candidate here.

For more details on the changes since Beta please review the revision log on Trac, and happy testing!
